Morphology

bisectional = bisection + section (transparent) = bi + section + al

The adjective is transparently formed from the noun 'bisection' plus the common adjective suffix '-al'.

Etymology

The word bisectional comes from the prefix bi- 'two' and the word section 'cut' or 'part', and it is like bisect, which means to cut into two. So a bisectional line, method, or property splits something into two equal parts.
